OpenAI's ChatGPT knows how to create a simple XUL toolbar
I tried it out just for kicks, and oddly enough, it does know some XUL or it was probably trained on data that included XUL documentation. It did get the meaning of the XUL acronym wrong though:

Re: OpenAI's ChatGPT knows how to create a simple XUL toolbar
Maybe from wikipedia? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XUL
XUL (/ˈzuːl/ ZOOL), which stands for XML User Interface Language, is a user interface markup language developed by Mozilla. XUL is an XML dialect for writing graphical user interfaces, enabling developers to write user interface elements in a manner similar to web pages.

Yeah, I think I'm the one who misremembered. I was thinking that it meant eXtensible UI Language but that certainly isn't the case, seeing this page.

Well, XML itself means eXtensible Markup Language, so, not a big jump.

Re: OpenAI's ChatGPT knows how to create a simple XUL toolbar
When I asked it which Extension API Pale Moon uses, it said WebExtension, then I began asking about UXP, Goanna and if Pale Moon is based on UXP, it answered all those questions correctly after that and gave correct Instructions for making an example Package, it also retained the knowledge that Pale Moon uses XUL until I reloaded the Page, but still insists that it uses WebExtension when I'm not in a Conversation where I corrected the AI

Re: OpenAI's ChatGPT knows how to create a simple XUL toolbar
Might be because "browser extension API" is associated with WebExtension in contemporary literature, so since there is nothing "well-known" that teaches the AI that Pale Moon does not support WebEx, it makes the association regardless of the factual truth.
